Fun stuff...and change

#1--DAVE GOT A JOB OFFER WITH THE LDS CHURCHSo, we will be moving to Riverton, UT (or there abouts). Daves current job has been so good to us and we have loved Colorado, but we feel so blessed to be able to move closer to family. We will be leaving Colorado sometime before Christmas and we will continue to try and talk our friends into coming with us!

#2--HALLOWEENClay--Curious Clay (George)Dave--The man in the yellow hat (I made his costume and i am so proud! It took lots of yellow dye and spray paint, so he smelled a little fumey!)

Clay loves his daddy and tries to charge out the door with him every morning when he goes to work. I'm sure it breaks Dave's heart to have to shut the door and hear Clay crying. Usually, he opens the door and hugs him one last time.

Anyway, I was "Dr. Pepper" for Halloween (and we forgot to take pics :( .) I just wore scrubs and pinned paper peppers all over them.

We carved some pumpkins--Clay was in heaven with all those pumkin guts! (oh, and you'll notice Clay was sportin a little mullet--I trimmed it a few days ago :(

We went to some Halloween parties.

I made a cheesball that looked like a pumpkinThey had a pumkin pinata!

Happy Birthday Clay! So, is Dave working at the church office building? let me know. Paul worked there for a bit. i am curious what department he will be in. We have a bunch of friends that are still there. Hope the move goes well. That is exciting! Love ya! xxxx

Clay is getting so big! It looks like you had a great time with all the halloween festivities!

Congratulations of the job and good luck on your move! Zak's dad works in the church office building. He's over all the North American people who do field operations for the family history department...Yah, I forget his title...

He is a software engineer, so he will be doing all different kinds of technology projects. I am amazed at how much the church does with different kinds of technology. They have moved the church technology department, so they are no longer in the church office building. They built a new site out in Riverton Utah. We are so excited!

What wonderful pictures and you are moving to Utah!!! Yay!!! Melissa, you look absolutely gorgeous and sooo thin! In answer to your questions, I am 14 1/2 weeks and have been feeling a lot better but think I may have had a small bug. Jon is sooo sick though, I got better and he just kept getting worse. The student health center said it's very probable that it's H1N1 but I'm just hoping it's the regular flu since I'm immunized against it. Just in case I have to wear a mask around him and I can't go near him much. Sad, but I'm sure he'll be better soon! Love ya :)

Yeah for moving back to Utah! Tell Dave congrats on the new job. It'll be nice to have you close again. And you are gorgeous as ever!! Clay is adorable, and I can't believe it's been a year. Crazy. Congrats again!
